Buses Rerouted In Midtown

On Saturday, March 17, RideKC will reroute buses in the Westport and midtown areas for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The parade will travel on Broadway from Linwood to 43rd St. Portions of Broadway north of Linwood and 33rd Street/Linwood will be closed to stage floats and marching units. The reroutes will start as streets are closed a few hours before the parade. The parade is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and last until 3:30 p.m. Buses will return to regular routes as the parade clears and the crowd disperses.
